On November 18, the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved updates to the regular meeting procedures to improve overall operational efficiency and increase ease and convenience for public participation. These changes will begin on January 6, 2026, and include the following:

  • The Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) will announce any revisions to the published agenda at the beginning of the meeting, rather than requiring a Board action for adoption of the agenda.
  • The published agenda itself will better highlight all the ways the public can view,
    attend, and participate in meetings and the Clerk of the Board will read it into the record at the beginning of the meeting and Open Forum.
  • Public comment
    – Public comment on Closed Session items will now be taken at the same time
    as public comment on the Consent Calendar. This adjustment is intended to
    improve meeting flow and allow the Board to more seamlessly recess into
    Closed Session by gathering all public comment on every Closed Session
    item rather than each time it adjourns to Closed Session throughout the day.
    – Additionally, public comment for all remaining agenda items (excluding
    noticed Public Hearings) will be taken in one public comment period following consideration of the Consent Calendar. This new structure provides greater efficiency and consideration of the public’s time, allowing citizens to arrive in the morning to provide any public comments – whether regarding Closed Session, Consent Calendar, or regular agenda items – without needing to wait hours for individual items to be called later in the day (unless it is a noticed Public Hearing).
    – Open Forum will continue to be scheduled at 1:00 p.m. as an opportunity for
    members of the public to address the Board for three minutes about
    any subject matter that is not on the meeting agenda.
    – As always, citizens may email comments on all agenda items to
    edc.cob@edcgov.us to be entered into the public record.

    The Board will continue to offer multiple ways for the public to view, attend, and engage in the business of the County during Board meetings: attend in person at the Board Chambers, connect through Zoom, call in by phone, watch the live stream on our YouTube channel or share your thoughts on agenda items in writing.
